古希腊戏剧不只是娱乐，更是雅典民主的塑造者。本课深入探讨埃斯库罗斯、索福克勒斯和欧里庇得斯三位悲剧大师如何扮演「民主先知」的角色。每个社会都需要通过某种机制凝聚共同价值观——现代社会依靠学校、媒体和大众娱乐；而古雅典则选择了戏剧。雅典剧场不仅是艺术舞台，更是公民教育的课堂，通过神话与悲剧激发集体反思，塑造民主精神与公民身份认同。本集属于「文明9」系列课程，从文明发展的宏观视角探寻西方民主的思想根源。
Greek tragedy was not mere entertainment — it was the engine of Athenian democracy. This lecture explores how Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides acted as prophets of democratic values, using theater the way modern societies use schools, media, and mass culture: to forge a shared identity and collective worldview. Part of the Civilization 9 lecture series, this episode traces the intellectual origins of Western democracy through the lens of ancient Athenian theater and its role in shaping civic consciousness.
